El Viejo Marino - Ushuaia

Very good food quality. Check the time to go there, other wise need to wait long, but this restaurant is worth waiting.

Try to visit this place for a late dinner, but the line was LONG so bright and early to hang before they open for lunch at 11 on weekday....

When I was on my Antarctica expedition cruise to leave the port, I decided to get the famous Argentina King Krabbe Parmesan, for...

We arrived within minutes of it opening and a number of tables had already gone. One cannot book a table.

The beauty of the Beagle Channel is humbling this is truly travelling even to the Uttermost Part of the Earth. The day had been full of wildlife elegant Chilean swans with black necks and white bodies near the lagoons at the end of the highway through south america called Route and beaver dams visible on a trail off this route, wild horses galloping beside the puffing steam train Fin del Mundo, and an island colony of nesting magellan penguins reached in a special expedition from Estancia Haberton where there is also a wonderful museum and research station. I visited in summer (the web site only allows me to say
